Southern Illinois has a rich history of coal mining, dating back to the early 1800s where coal was first observed outcropping along the bluffs above the American bottoms.

With larger buildings come deeper and larger foundations. Drilled caissons or “piers” are one of the most commonly used foundation types for the most heavily loaded buildings as well as most bridges and overpasses. In order to be confident that each pier will support a building as designed, in-depth inspections must be performed. These inspections
Thermal Conductivity Testing, also known as Formation Thermal Conductivity, is a testing method that provides the geothermal system designer site-specific information on the thermal conductivity and diffusivity of the area in which the system will be installed. The benefits of using this method include: -More accurate installation and material cost estimates -Test parameters that can
